Great to hear that multi DPI setups work seamlessly on KDE Plasma. Actually that capability is what brought me to wayland 4 years ago. I switched from i3 to sway, using wdisplays and kanshi to control multi monitor setups... and it was glor

Sure, it's always cheaper to use the hardware you've got than to buy something new! And you don't lose much: AV1 and VP9 compatibility the same, and probably your home doesn't use more than NVIDIA's maximum of 3 sim

As I mentioned elsewhere, check the details of that transcode you tried. Are you doing tone mapping? That happens on the CPU (even with many discrete GPUs). Is it in a supported container format? Did you validate that the GPU was being use

The thread has the benchmarks, links to ebay searches, and lists of prebuilt machines (like the dells) that meet the requirements, since they're often the cheapest way to meet the spec (according to TFA). you may have to scroll up. I j

Depends on the details of your transcode: - what's the source/destination quality? - what's the container format? Quicksync doesn't support them all; even the newest gen is missing av1 and VP9 IIRC. But then, the same ca

1) if your device plays 4k, then what are you transcoding from? That's going to be the determining factor, not the 4k output stream. Certainly in a home situation, that's likely to be direct stream. If your source files are 8K or

Thanks for writing almost exactly the post I was going to write. differences: I don't use tailscale; I just port forward from my router to the k3s ingress IP, since that's fixed anyway. Accordingly k3s handles letsencrypt certifi

Your hypothetical new plex box does not need a discrete GPU. Plex makes really good use of Intel Quick Sync, and transcode quality has been indistinguishable or better than NVIDIA since about 5th gen. A Celeron G4900 (8th-gen dual core, 330

Whoah that's a complaint I've never heard before! Do you know which of his 2 recordings you're listening to? The one from the 80s is much "straighter" than the original from 1962. Usually people complain - listening

Oh, man - Jeff is a giant in the raspberry pi and adjacent homelab and NAS spaces. I met him at events in the Drupal space, where he was a maintainer at the time, just showing off his first "bramble" (pi based kubernetes cluster).

While I agree with your point, YSK that your examples don't support it. Congress does outsource the Fed to the big banks, including Chase and Wells. [1] That's how the US Federal Reserve system works. Congress (through its appoi

I hear what you're saying in two parts: "Why not just estimate hours anyway?" Because humans are extremely bad at estimating time, which is borne out by studies many times over. A good overview is the original research on thi

Yes, you can do the same math if your stories are consistently sized, or if you have a sufficiently large data set. All you need is a consistent unit that is related to complexity, risk, and time. The less precise that relation, the larger

Strange New Worlds is an improvement, certainly on the disastrous direction discovery took... but it still pales in comparison to The Orville. I'm convinced it's the best trek since the 90s.
